Premier League rivals eye moves for Danny Ings

Crystal Palace are among the clubs interested in signing Liverpool striker Danny Ings, with Leicester City, Newcastle United and Southampton all said to be in the hunt for the 26-year old as well.

According to The Guardian, Ings, who has resisted moves away from Anfield in previous transfer windows has reluctantly conceded that, if he wants regular first-team football, then he has to bid his Liverpool career farewell, and is now looking for a new club. He was left out of the club’s US tour and participation in The International Champions Cup in order to work on his fitness and to try and negotiate a move that suits him.

However, Palace, who are keen to add to their attacking options, will need to match Liverpool’s valuation of Ings at £20 million.

Ings is not the only Liverpool player linked with a move away in the nest few days – goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has been linked with Besiktas, whilst talks have been opened with Olympiakos about the sale of Lazar Markovic to the Greek side.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
